Since your ML is so new, take it back to the dealer and get it replaced under goodwill. Chance are you just got a bad wiper blade. I still have the original on my 08 and its still perfect.

I used the carwash with slappers hundreds of time and never wonder about taping the rear wiper, It's still like new.

^ That's weird I guess it depends on the car wash. Or I have a weak assembly.

I bought a generic 12-inch blade from Canadian Tire for $12 yesterday. (021-0912-0; 12B) I had to file down the crossbar a little (5 minutes) as it was too thick to fit in the cutout on the arm. Now it fits fine. Looks like OEM, too.

Also, you can replace the rubber and metal inserts without replacing the whole blade. That would be my preferred choice except that I couldn't find any inserts that fit.
